I am working diligently on all my projects. Still, I cannot help but to plan for more.
Pictured below is the small haul I bought at the City Blocks Quilt Shop Garage Sale.
This is an instruction kit for making cards using fabric scraps. It has envelopes, card stock and templates. I can't wait to get started making cards to sell at The Art Shoppe where I consign some of my artworks.
This is a lovely peacock panel I want to use to make into a quilt. I love my sister's (Audra Rose) peacock quilt so when I saw this, I had to make a quilt from it. I have a couple ideas for a design. I also bought a packet of precut squares I want to use with it.
All this for just $8!

Thank you Joanne, and please be sure to post a pic of your projects when you are finished with them. Looking forward to seeing them.

While recovering from chemo I have been working on my quilt guild's UFO challenge. The first one is from blocks I made on my 95 year old handcrank machine during camping trips one summer and the second one is from maple leaf blocks I made when I first got my electric machine in 2008.

The first one is made from blocks I did with an online group about 10 years ago. I'm going to give it to my daughter. The second one was made mostly from leaders and enders from my shoebox full of 2 inch squares. Everything except the heart will be going to the guild's charity program.

Back before covid we went on a shop hop and each shop gave out polka dot squares. I didn't know what to do with them so finally I slightly modified a Pat Sloan pattern and made the first one for the children's home. The second one is your piece of humor for the day. I thought it was done; it looked fine to me until I saw the picture. Oops. I did take it apart and fix it before giving it away.

Judith LOL! If a seasoned quilter like yourself has those issues maybe there's hope for me yet :) I love the very first one and can't believe you made all those with a hand crank machine!!! I can't imagine what that would be like. I'm guessing it would else be really fun or really frustrating until you get the hang of it.
Marie - that card kit looks fun! What a great haul.

Wow Judith, you have been very very busy! Love them all! They are beautiful! I must say regarding the last picture, I actually love the log cabin that stands out. I think it makes it even more special and beautiful.

Great job, Judith! The quilts are beautiful! I am working of a QOV for my husband's Uncle who is a retired Navy SEAL! When he retired he was the longest continually serving SEAL and was named the tenth Bullfrog. It is such an honor! There have only been 20 Bullfrogs named in the history of the SEAL teams. I can't wait to finish it!

Beautiful quilts Judith!
I am still working on the start of a grandmother's flower garden quilt. I have a blanket on the hook and a couple of other projects going so I don't expect the quilt to be done anytime soon.
